Allergens

Dairy-free (milk, cream cheese) - Nut-based (almond milk)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 package (8 oz) vegan cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups cold strong brewed coffee
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups vegan ladyfingers
  • 1 tbsp dairy
  • free chocolate chips
  • Ground cinnamon, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, softened vegan cream cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. In a separate shallow dish, combine the cold strong brewed coffee and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix well to create a chocolate coffee sauce.
  3. Dip each vegan ladyfinger into the chocolate coffee sauce, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the coffee soaked ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom of a 7x11 inch glass dish.
  4. Spread half of the almond milk cream mixture evenly over the layer of soaked ladyfingers.
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with remaining ladyfingers and cream mixture, finishing with a layer of cream on top.
  6. Sprinkle dairy free chocolate chips evenly over the top layer of cream.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld.
  8. Before serving, dust the top with a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
